What services do Senior Resource Centers offer?
There are senior centers around the county who offer things like a meal program where people can come in for lunch. They may have exercise classes, gardening classes, trips, socialization, various kinds of services like that. There are legal services, the minor home repairs, emergency response systems. 

Where are the Sharp HealthCare Senior Resource Centers?
La Mesa and San Diego. We offer free health education classes, free health screenings. We offer flu shots, the Vial of Life, information and referral to health services and also community services that help people stay in the home. 

How are the Senior Health Centers different from the Senior Resource Centers?
The senior health centers, which are located in downtown and in Clairemont in San Diego, also offer primary medical care to seniors ages 65 years and older for those who have Medicare as their primary insurance. We also have physicians and other staff who are very knowledgeable about working with older adults and addressing their issues.
